Where does everyone mount their GPS antenna? Where's the best place to keep it from being blocked by all the rigging of a sailboat? Also, what's the feeling everyone has on transducers? I've read a lot about people mounting them against the fiberglass of the hull. The idea is that it gives you some warning before you hit something. A transom mounted one would tell you what you just passed over which does you little good. My question I guess is what good is finding out what you are about to collide with a split second before you smash into it? How does the transducer compensate for the angle that it has placed on it by the curvature of the hull? Although this curve would give you better warning of something looming ahead of you, it would be greatly inaccurate as far as depth and distance wouldn't it? Do you just mount a transom transducer to shoot through the fiberglass hull, or are the stories I read about how to do this done with special transducers? I guess I'm leaning towards a transom mount, because if anything it will tell me that the ground is coming up. The speed sensor and temp sensor won't work through the hull either. The only thing that it wouldn't warn you of is a near vertical rise. I almost wish they made a transducer that could mount outside the hull without having to cut a hole in it. Hmm..thats a good idea...that idea is patent pending now! hahah... Seriously, any help would be appreciated. Just bought the boat, and now it's time to accesorize! I'm looking at the Garmin MAP 168 if that helps anyone. Thanks again, Josh
